Can the driving test be transferred to another location?
2 Answers
You can transfer to another driving school to continue the test if you have already started the driving test, and it can be transferred to a driving school in a different city. Here is the relevant information: Legal Basis: Starting from June 1, 2019, China will implement a nationwide "one-certificate test" for small car driving licenses. Applicants can directly apply for a driving license with their resident ID card anywhere in the country, and they can also take the driving test in different subjects in different locations. Additionally, there is no longer a need to submit residence registration certificates. Test Requirements: The vehicle management office must accept and arrange tests for those who meet the requirements for a motor vehicle driving license according to the scheduled date. The test sequence follows Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3 in order. Only after passing the previous subject can one proceed to the next. After passing the Subject 3 road driving skills test, one can then take the safe and civilized driving common sense test.
I remember that you can transfer your driver's license exam to another location. When I signed up in my hometown and later got transferred for work, my driving instructor told me the process was quite simple. The specific steps involve going to the local DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) to apply for a transfer, bringing your ID and proof of residence. They will then transfer your exam records to the new location. After arriving in the new city, you just need to register at the local DMV to continue your exams without starting from scratch, saving a lot of time and effort. Another advantage of taking the exam in a different location is greater flexibility—for example, in smaller cities, the test sites are smaller and exams are quicker, while in bigger cities, the wait might be longer but the facilities are better. However, policies vary by region—some places may require additional documents or fees, so it’s best to clarify in advance to avoid delays. This transfer option is especially practical for those who relocate temporarily for work or other reasons.
